Description

Welcome to Tile, the world’s largest lost and found. Tile makes tiny Bluetooth trackers and a companion app that allow you to locate lost or misplaced items in seconds — like your phone, keys, and wallet. Compatible with Tile Mate, Tile Slim and Tile Original.

You can order Tiles at http://www.thetileapp.com

*Ring your things.Attach or stick Tile devices to anything you don’t want to lose and use the app to ring your stuff when you’re within Bluetooth range. With Tile Slim and Tile Mate you can pick from one of four unique ringtones.

*Ring your phone.Can't find your phone? Press any one of your Tile devices to make your lost phone ring —even if it's on silent.

*See where you had it last.Keep the app running in the background and it will automatically record the last time and place it saw your item on a map. So, if you left it somewhere, you know where to look first.

*Ask others to help.Still can't find your Tiled item? Our “Notify When Found” feature puts every device running the Tile app on the lookout for your lost stuff. If anyone comes within Bluetooth range of your Tile, we'll let you know where it is. This feature is 100% private, so no one knows you're looking for a lost item but you.

*Find your phone from any device.Our app turns any phone or tablet into a virtual Tile. Simply download the app on all of your devices — and use the app on one of your devices to find another. Plus, you can use our voice calling feature to call another device from the app — even on silent — to help you get in touch with whoever may have picked up your lost phone.

Notes:* The app utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to communicate with your Tiles. The maximum range is 100 ft.* The app utilizes Location Services to record the last known location of your Tiles, based on your phone’s geo-location data.* Continued use of GPS or Bluetooth running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.* Works with iPhone 4S and newer, iPad 3rd gen and newer, iPad Mini, iPod Touch 5th gen.

Tile Saves Time and Stress

Oct 1, 2017

Abelrm

In all seriousness I lose my keys, wallet and to a lesser degree, my phone all the time. I’m also pretty Type A/high strung. Nearly every morning buying before tile I would run late and freak out about my keys and now I just always use Tile and it solves the problem ASAP - no time, no stress. I also love the GPS functionality and the fact that I can ding my phone from my keys (had to do that a few times too). I’ve had Tiles for over 3 years now. Love their long battery and the fact that they offer you retile discounts and reminders. Will say that some of my older model ones will once in a blue moon not ring and just “buzzz” but overall couldn’t be happier. It’s loud enough to hear in a large house if you just walk around to find it. love love love - great product that I really use - can’t wait to upgrade to the newer sport models, once I do my next retile,and see if they’re even louder!

More than I bargained for!!

I am well known in my family for misplacing things, so one of my sons got me a few Tiles for Christmas 2015. They and the App have been helpful locating items around the house but then I lost my keys at Newark Penn Station on December 5, 2017. The App reported the last location and I went back and searched to no avail.

I thought that was the end it, but then on January 4, 2018, the Tile App notified me that they were detected in Hoboken Terminal (a completely different train line and a place I would have never checked). It turns out that they were turned in to the terminal’s Lost & Found 2 days after I lost them and the day before I filed a Lost & Found report with the train line. (So much for the efficacy of their database!)

We got the keys back because the Tile App detected my 2 year old Tile, even though it was long past its replacement date. I am very impressed!

It’s always been a problem that the Tile batteries don’t last more than a year, if that long, can’t be replaced without purchasing new Tiles, and that the ones found in the stores are near the end of their lifespan. But now they have modified the app so that you must give them full time access to the microphone of your iPhone and iPad. Seriously? Why? It’s worked just fine without needing that intrusion. Now it’s not an option. A serious privacy overreach that’s totally unnecessary, as demonstrated by good past performance without it. What data are they trying to sell now?My response to the developer: I am more than capable of turning the microphone on and off; what of those who don’t? The app was quite capable of allowing me to find my iPhone with my iPad and vice versa previously without the microphone and your sales of user data is well known. My iPad is WIFI only, so it’s not “calling” anything when I use it to find my phone and vice versa. And if I want a phone to call my phone, I’ll just call it using my cell carrier. So, again, why have you changed the app to need the microphone?

Granting microphone permissions is completely optional. Regardless if you grant microphone permissions or not, the Tile app will still work to track your items. With microphone being accessed, it has the ability to call your iPhone from another iPhone if your personal phone is missing.

Please note that privacy is Tile's top of mind, and the microphone permissions is only so that the app can call your phone. Our apologies if the pop-up made you feel that way. I’d like to connect with you to further discuss your concerns about privacy. You can reach me by emailing terms@thetileapp.com. - Maiq @ Tile
